Shared Knowledge is Power - Building a Project Management Community As project managers, we do not deliver. We do not cut code or build bridges. We work with teams and stakeholders to ensure that delivery is done. The job of the project manager is about working with people, breaking down barriers, reducing risk, and managing change. To do this well, it's not about 'know what,' it's about 'know how.' Better access to knowledge-and the support to use it wisely-means faster, cheaper, and higher quality projects. At Fujitsu, our vision is about providing the ability for project managers to share knowledge and experience by interacting with other members of the community, in agile and dynamic client-facing environment. Equally as important is taking that knowledge back into the organisation. This supports the individual in developing their professional career, and supports the organization in improving its project delivery. Understanding your customers' changing organisation is difficult enough. Combined with your own ever-changing organisation and the faster pace of agile project delivery, we need to leverage more than just our own knowledge and experience. A strong project management community driven by knowledge sharing may be the answer you need. The size of your organisation is irrelevant - everyone can benefit from a knowledge based community. It is how you shape the community to meet your needs that will deliver the benefits.Learning Objectives Better access to knowledge-and the support to use it wisely-means faster, cheaper, and higher quality projects.

The New Normal in Project Management: It's All About the Benefits For many organizations traditional project management is dead. Measuring project success based solely on the triple constraints ignores what's most important about a project: the benefits and value the project should deliver. In this new normal, where organizations rely on project managers to deliver value, not just deliverables, we need better planning, knowledge of change management practices, and most importantly, ways to collaborate with our business partners to make sure we get the job done correctly. LeRoy will provide his insight into the best ways organizations and project managers can, and should, work together to make it all happen.
